Download or read book Reducing Potential Hazards of Pesticides to Fish Wildlife and Habitat written by CR. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental safety data must be applied in the registration of pesticides, including labels and labeling. Knowledge of physiology, ecology, and behavior of organisms should be combined with the physical and chemical properties, formulation, and use patterns of pesticides to reduce hazard to fish, wildlife, and habitat. The hazards of pesticides can be separated into (1) the pesticide concentrations, (2) the time and nature of exposure, and (3) exposure to nontarget organisms. Hazard varies with the habitat and the sensitivity of organisms, including the most vulnerable life stage, links of food chains, habitat requirement, and other limiting factors. The bioaccumulation of residues may also compromise the wholesomeness and value of fish and wildlife for both recreational and nutritional uses. Mitigation of the hazard can be accomplished by adequate training of pest control operators, better formulations, application methods, timing of the application, and utilization of the safest pesticides or alternative pest control methods and cultural practices (integrated pest management). However, such precautions must be more universally accepted and applied over broad geographic areas to be effective in minimizing losses.

Download or read book Assessing Risks to Endangered and Threatened Species from Pesticides written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-07-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are responsible for protecting species that are listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and for protecting habitats that are critical for their survival. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for registering or reregistering pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and must ensure that pesticide use does not cause any unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, which is interpreted to include listed species and their critical habitats. The agencies have developed their own approaches to evaluating environmental risk, and their approaches differ because their legal mandates, responsibilities, institutional cultures, and expertise differ. Over the years, the agencies have tried to resolve their differences but have been unsuccessful in reaching a consensus regarding their assessment approaches. As a result, FWS, NMFS, EPA, and the US Department of Agriculture asked the National Research Council (NRC) to examine scientific and technical issues related to determining risks posed to listed species by pesticides. Specifically, the NRC was asked to evaluate methods for identifying the best scientific data available; to evaluate approaches for developing modeling assumptions; to identify authoritative geospatial information that might be used in risk assessments; to review approaches for characterizing sublethal, indirect, and cumulative effects; to assess the scientific information available for estimating effects of mixtures and inert ingredients; and to consider the use of uncertainty factors to account for gaps in data. Assessing Risks to Endangered and Threatened Species from Pesticides, which was prepared by the NRC Committee on Ecological Risk Assessment under FIFRA and ESA, is the response to that request.
